[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Browser Javascript problems on SLES

[rabone@xxxxxxxxxx (Richard Bone)]

Hi,

We've been using the browser widget with javascript and haven't had any 
trouble on windows.  When we run on linux, however, the story changes.

I haven't tried other distributions, but I have tried on SLES 10, which 
comes out of the box with Firefox 1.5.x.  We are passing in the following 
javascript...

browser.execute("window.status=document.body.scrollWidth.toString()+\"x\"+document.body.scrollHeight.toString()");

On windows, this returns a string that might look like 640x16.  On SLES, 
the browser throws a dialog up that says "Unable to open Web browser on 
javascript:<script from earlier>;void(0);  Reason: unknown protocol: 
javascript.

The browser widget itself works fine, until I use javascript.  If anyone 
has any ideas on why this might be happening, I would love to hear them.  

Richard
